But " \n" in the example is two characters; there is a space before
the \n and the documentation explicitly uses the plural for
separators, not the singular. It also refers to a "list", and a list
implies more than one.

I'm ok with that answer because I can deal with it in code, but what
you are saying is that "Separators is NOT a list of sperators [sic]
characters", but that the "Separator is a single character".

Is that correct?
